Burlington is about to float away

It has been a very interesting Spring to far in Burlington. With the snow melt and a hefty amount of rain, everything is flooding! The lake broke a 100+ year record. The last time it was this high with this amount of flooding it was 1869. Currently the Lake is at 102.75 feet, three feet ABOVE flood stage. There are many roads closed and people being evacuated from their homes. Many of the summer "camps" aka cottages, are underwater. Below are some pics from our neighborhood and the bike path.

Charlie's Boathouse (a snack stand on the lake)

BEFORE the flooding


This picture was taken on Thursday, when I walked down there last night with Piper, the water was even higher. Notice the massive tire leaning against the tree (in both pics), it is now floating down the street.


This is the parking lot and boat launch at the end of our street, all under water now.


Perkins Pier BEFORE


Early Flooding..

This is the pier at the waterfront. Its about 1500 feet long, but you cant tell from this picture because it is ALL underwater
